NEW YORK , Sept. 11 (UPI) -- The 30th anniversary of his debut album has little meaning for British rock icon Elvis Costello.

"I've never thought about it, really," Costello said. "I'm not a great one on anniversaries or dates. But it flags a certain time. It seems to be a time people reconsider things, so we have to accept the fact that's what the process is."

Costello's attitude hasn't kept his record company from releasing "My Aim is True (Deluxe Edition"), an expanded version of the 1977 title that fills out the original 13-song album -- which featured the hits "Alison" and "Watching the Detectives -- with four outtakes, eight demos, a 1977 concert from Nashville and the soundcheck to that show.

The set is part of of an extensive series of reissues and new compilations from Costello's catalog that will be rolling out over the next few years.
